Assignment 5: Final Project

 What We Leave Behind.

In this photo series, I take pictures of old, broken-down buildings and trash around the city of McKenzie. These places and objects might seem unimportant or ugly initially, but I see them as a way to tell a bigger story about our world. My inspiration comes from the movie, Wall-E, where the Earth is full of garbage and left behind by people who stopped taking care of it. I think that story feels close to what’s happening now. By showing these parts of the city, I want people to think about how we treat our environment and how easy it is to ignore things that seem used or abandoned. 

To the viewers, these photos might just look like trash, but I hope they also see the message behind them that these places have a story. They show the results of choices people make every day and remind us that if we don’t pay attention, we might end up living in a real version of Wall-E’s world.
